to Samantha:

Please read “Created to be his HelpMeet” for a wake up call on how you do have power to effect your husband. The number one need he has is to be respected, whether he deserves it or not. Sounds like his need is not getting met either.

[...] Keep dating your wife. We’ve written about this before, but it deserves repeating. Establish a weekly â€œdate nightâ€? with your wife and treat this time as sacred. Your dates don’t have to be fancy, but you do need to work to keep them fresh. A recent study showed that injecting novelty into your dates can bring back the butterflies you experienced when you were first courting. So visit a new restaurant, try a new hobby, or take a class together. [...]

My husband is too stupid to get any of this!!! He can’t even give a card for valentines, birthdays or anniversary let alone just because.Many mothers days have gone by and not even a spoken word of appreciation, in fact he becomes sullen and I work my ass off at home. My days from the time I get up till the time I go to bed average 19 hrs. If it were legal to marry your mother he’d marry his. Or maybe he’ d be married to himself seeing he loves himself so much. His idea of romance is seeing monster trucks or rock crawling jeeps. Sorry, but your advice works only for men who have some potential. Not for take all for my self dumb as a box of rocks men. Some men wanting and willing to put forth the effort it takes to keep a marriage fresh might find this good sound advice. You certainly have women figured out…..this is what (speaking for just me here) women want. Hope it is helpful to those seeking it.

Great advice! My only comment is “everything in moderation”. Saying, “I love you” all the time can make it easy for it to be just a habit and lose it’s meaning. Also, setting a date time every week can make it feel more like a chore than a date.

@Gary Slaughter:

Glad to see another couple who enjoys spending time together at Borders. Also good to hear about another couple that doesn’t argue. My wife and I don’t either. Some people act like there must be something wrong with us, or that we’re simply holding our feelings in. But we really do just get along that well.

Your application of the Basic Blend to a marriage is very insightful. Marriage is all about blending two people’s energies. I need to start taking martial arts so I can make cool metaphors like that, too.
